Interface (Ethernet) Configuration mode
User Guidelines
This command can only be executed on a 40G or 100G Ethernet interface
that supports the expandable ports feature. Entering this command on any of
the 4x10G, 2x50G, or 4x25G Ethernet interfaces (or any non-Ethernet port)
will give an error. Entering the command on a non-expandable type of
interface will give an error.
When an expandable port is configured to operate in Ethernet mode, a
breakout cable may be used to connect to other switches or hosts.
When the stack port is configured in Ethernet mode, the stack ports and the
non-configured Ethernet ports show as detached in the output of the show
interfaces status command. For example, if the port is configured as 100G
